Legislative Plunder, Progressive Style

Proposal 14-1 is a proposition to expand the size of
Local and State Government plain and simple.
Expanding government comes at a severe cost to OUR liberty.

Proposal 14-1 carries quietly in the background its
statutory partner Public Act 86 of 2014 which establishes a new level of
Bureaucratic Socialism aptly named in § 7 as the “Local Community Stabilization
Authority” and in § 9 the “The
authority council”

The “Authority Council”
is a gubernatorial commission composed of five appointed commissioners, who are
the administrative managers of the “authority”.

The “Authority” is the “Local
Community Stabilization Authority” sitting as an “Independent Metropolitan
government” that will send out swarms of New Officers to eat out our Sustenance
by imposing and collecting a six percent tax on everything we purchase, and own
here in the lands of the Wolverine.

Proposal 14-1 is a deliberated political deception presented
fraudulently by the Legislative Leadership in Lansing as a means to continue exacting
the Personal Property Tax by authorizing a locally populated metropolitan authority
to impose and collect annually forever more, a 6 percent use tax on ALL PERSONAL
PROPERTY.

“Sec. 3. (1) There is levied upon and
there shall be collected from every person in this state a specific tax,
including both the local community stabilization share and the state share, for
the privilege of using, storing, or consuming tangible personal property in
this state at a total combined rate equal to 6% of the price of the property or
services specified in section 3a or 3b. The tax levied under this act applies
to a person who acquires tangible personal property or services that are
subject to the tax levied under this act for any tax-exempt use who
subsequently converts the tangible personal property or service to a taxable
use, including an interim taxable use. If tangible personal property or
services are converted to a taxable use, the tax levied under this act shall be
imposed without regard to any subsequent tax-exempt use. Penalties and interest
shall be added to the tax if applicable as provided in this act. For the
purpose of the proper administration of this act and to prevent the evasion of
the tax, all of the following shall be presumed:”

Proposal 14-1 is stealth legislation pandered about
under the false bravado of funding local services. Proposal 14-1 is a tax
increase which is why by LAW it is on the Ballot. This fact contradicts the political advertisements
appearing on local Television trumpeting this Proposal 14-1 as good for local
business.

This Local Community Stabilization Authority may be
established in compliance to Article VII § 27 of the Michigan State
Constitution of 1963.

Metropolitan
governments and authorities:

§
27: Notwithstanding any other provision
of this constitution the legislature may establish in metropolitan areas
additional forms of government or authorities with powers, duties and
jurisdictions as the legislature shall provide. Wherever possible, such
additional forms of government or authorities shall be designed to perform
multipurpose functions rather than a single function.

Proposal 14-1 does not articulate in the “Ballot Language”
that this is a TAX INCREASE, which is the key to this political deception presented
to us by a Republican Led State Legislative Chamber sitting under OUR State
Capitol Dome in Lansing.

This proposal is being introduced for one purpose,
to enable local government to feast on our Private Wealth without restraint by
imposing directly a 6 percent tax on OUR personal property purchased to operate
OUR locally privately owned small businesses.

This local bureaucracy will send out swarms of new
officers to eat out our Sustenance at six percent every year, unless we the
Voters VOTE NO on Proposal 1 on August 5!
